The
ONLY time Paul Henry put himself up in the
ultimate popularity contest (standing for Parliament in an electorate in a general election), he got his arse kicked by a transvestite and by a HUGE margin. And that was in spite of the fact that his name was well known in the electorate due to having been a breakfast radio jock in that part of New Zealand for a few years prior to the general election he stood in.
Mind you, the fact he made some extremely nasty racist and sexist remarks about candidates from other political parties (he was standing on a Nats ticket) during the election campaign may have had something to do with his HUGE defeat.
So I guess that kinda says it all about Paul Henry, eh?
No, not really.
You left out the part about saying what most New Zealanders think.
The sidebar poll shows absolutely
massive support for him.
